off so as to ensure the next use is smooth. Therefore ensure the power is left on during this
time. This action also extends the working life the unit.
Troubleshooting
A: Before phoning for service please check the following:
1. If the unit fails to operate:
Is
flashing? Is the tank correctly installed? Check and reposition.
Is the unit plugged in?
Is it switched on?
Is the unit defrosting (
flashing)?
2. If performance is inefficient:
Check if the filter is dirty and clean it.
Check that air intake and outlet are uncovered.
In case of low ambient temperature and humidity the unit will cut in and out.
Is there any door or window open?
Is steam being generated in the room?
Is the room too big?
Try the laundry mode operation and let it run in this mode for a day.
Is the unit covered?
Is the unit positioned at the required minimum distances away from walls or objects?
(See page 6 Unit Setup)
3. If noise is heard:
Is the unit on a horizontal flat surface? Check and move if necessary.
Check if the filter is dirty and clean it.
B. If the problem persists (for example indicator lights flashing on the panel prevent
operation and indicate the appliance has identified a fault), unplug the unit and
contact the manufacturer.
C. Do not attempt to carry out repairs by yourself.
D. Do not operate the unit if the cable or plug is damaged, but take it to a qualified
technician. Unauthorized repairs may damage the unit or cause injury to persons

Benefits Of Using 3-in-1 Filter
Benefits Of Using Silver Nano Filter
The 3-in-1 Filter is a combination of two complex
charcoal filters with catalyst agents, and covered
by an antiallergic non-woven fabric.
The Silver Ion attached on the filter releases the
Silver ions repeatedly to eliminate bacterias
effectively.
The Silver Nano Filter kills bacteria in the air and
controls the growth of microbes, such as bacteria,
virus, fungi, and spores, by destroying their
inner configuration and absorbing the cells
elements.
The antiallergic non-woven fabric effectively
filters out allergen, such as dust mite and pollens
in the air. The two catalyst charcoal filters cam
absorb and decompose pollutants and foul smells
in the air.
